Dragon deities

In many campaign settings for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, the fictional draconic pantheon of gods consists of the leader Io, as well as Aasterinian, Astilabor, Bahamut, Chronepsis, Faluzure, Garyx, Hlal, Lendys, Sardior, Tamara, and Tiamat. Other draconic gods may be present in different campaign settings.

Aasterinian

Aasterinian is the draconic deity who serves as Io's messenger. Her symbol is a grinning dragon's head. Aasternian appears as a huge brass dragon who is always grinning. She is quick-witted, with a sharp tongue. Aasternian is the messenger of Io, the draconic god of creation. She and her followers enjoy good relations with Garl Glittergold, Fharlanghn, Olidammara and similar deities. Aasterinian loves all those who enjoy innovation and whimsy, and she is accepting of all dragonblooded races. She is especially amused by spellscales.

Aasterinian was first detailed in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition book Monster Mythology (1992), including details about her priesthood. She appears in Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition in Defenders of the Faith (2000). Her priesthood and her role as a draconic deity are further detailed in Draconomicon: The Book of Dragons (2003), and in Races of the Dragon (2006).
